Post subject:  glass replacement for flexiglass challenge canopy.
Hi all, well I managed to get a good canopy for the daughters Sierra soft top from Sydney. I managed to put it on her car today and right at the end I broke the rear hinged window. :oops: Can anyone tell me who would be best to see about a replacement in Toowoomba preferably, - O'Briens , Novus, Petrina?.
If need be, I will drive to Brisbane for one. I would imagine that it won't be cheap either. :( Hope someone can send me in the right direction for one. I am a bit pissed off about it, just quietly. Thanks, regards John T.

O'briens in Cairns wanted $300, I just used ply,and cut some holes for perspex.

Both polycarbonate and perspex will scratch. Polycarbonate is much stronger though.

I don't. Glass is easier to see through and has less optical distortion. Besides. I can get new windscreens for under $100, so why fuck around with illegal plastics. :?

Just had Novus around here to do a friend's windscreen, laminate is the only glass you can cut for cars, the reason it's $300, is that going round courners even the pro's can break a sheet..start again.

Tanshi where are you, this is the second quote I had for $3oo, which would double the value of the vehicle.
